Normally you would expect the ionic to penetrate better, except that silver forms a pretty reactive ion, and it will quickly get bound with proteins and chlorine in the tissues. So it may, or it may not. Experimenting on things like this were previously expensive since the only source for near pure colloidal silver was from Frank Key and that was pretty expensive stuff. Now we can make it ourselves.
